Every meal carries a story-perhaps of a family gathered around a table, a kitchen filled with the scent of freshly ground spices, or the warmth of a housekeeper, or grandmother's hands . Each recipe is a tribute to the Anglo-Indian communities that have preserved these traditions while they survived on a host country soil.
These recipes are continued down the generations by the Anglo Indian community, who are basically descended from Britain, Portugal, Spain, Denmark and France . Hence the recipes detailed here are a delightful blend of these European cultures, while incorporating a bit of the flavors of the host country .
Authentic Anglo-Indian Recipes is more than a collection of dishes; it is a testament to centuries of cultural exchange, adaptation, and survival. From the lush greenery of the estates of Mysore, the mysteries of Calcutta, the vibrant streets of Goa, the sprawling Anglo Indian bungalows of Edacochi, to the serene beaches and churches of Fort Kochi, Anglo-Indian cuisine has been influenced by the subcontinent's diverse regions, yet it remains distinct in its simplicity, comfort, and warmth.
